Will climate change reduce the efficacy of protected areas for amphibian conservation in Italy (2011, methodology): “This estimation was done using a predictive approach based on the central limit theorem (Ferrier et al., 2000).”
Core concepts of spatial prioritisation in systematic conservation planning (2012, background): “Irreplaceability and replacement cost (Sections III.11, 12; Pressey et al., 1993, 1994; Ferrier et al., 2000; Cabeza & Moilanen, 2006) are operational measures that, heuristically expressed, aim to express how important an area is for conservation.”
Effectiveness of marine reserve networks in representing biodiversity and minimizing impact to fishermen: a comparison of two approaches used in California (2008, background): “…are substantial mitigating factors, stakeholders should include areas frequently selected in Marxan, that is, those required to efficiently achieve the biodiversity conservation and socioeconomic objectives (Pressey 1998; Ferrier et al. 2000), in their network proposals (Carwardine et al. 2005).”
Conservation Planning for Ecosystem Services (2006, background): “One can get a measure of the irreplaceability [70,71] of a planning unit from the number of times that it occurs in the full set of 20 networks, or the ‘‘summed-solution’’ network.”
Challenging Wallacean and Linnean shortfalls: knowledge gradients and conservation planning in a biodiversity hotspot (2006, background): “4), as shown by frequency of cells in 100 networks with 17 cells each (Meir et al ., 2004; see also Ferrier et al ., 2000).”
Unprotecting the rare species: a niche‐based gap analysis for odonates in a core Cerrado area (2011, methodology): “beta diversity, complementarity) are generally used for these approaches (Freitag et al., 1997; Ferrier et al., 2000; Bonn & Gaston, 2005; Sarkar et al., 2006).”
Sensitivity of Systematic Reserve Selection to Decisions about Scale, Biological Data, and Targets: Case Study from Southern British Columbia (2004, methodology): “Irreplaceability calculations in C-Plan are influenced by both the conservation targets and combination size (Ferrier et al. 2000).”
Species distributions, surrogacy, and important conservation regions in Canada (2004, unknown): “For maximum comparability of summed irreplaceability between taxa, the initial combination size, a parameter used to calculate irreplaceability ( Ferrier et al. 2000 ), was set to the number of hexagons identified in the minimum set for each respective taxon and the conservation target was one repre”
Synthesis of pattern and process in biodiversity conservation assessment: a flexible whole‐landscape modelling framework (2010, methodology): “…targets for a large number of modelled species distributions and mapped community types (Ferrier et al., 2002), and using this information to prioritize (through irreplaceability analysis), and negotiate selection of, planning units (forestry compartments) for protection (Ferrier et al., 2000).”
